Speaker: Ophir Frieder (Georgetown University)
We are just now slowly, physically recovering from the recent
pandemic; mentally we have a long journey ahead of us, and many are touting a
looming mental health crisis. Thus, initially, we describe a
web-intelligent, social-media monitoring approach for depression detection
and continue with a presentation of a patented, licensed, and proprietary
intelligent agent that identifies behavioral deviancy, an early warning for
potential mental health concerns. We then turn our attention towards
web-intelligent monitoring of social media to detect physical disease
outbreaks and describe the implications of such surveillance schemes to
healthcare planning for a major children-focused hospital. We conclude by,
once again, focusing on patented, licensed, and proprietary intelligent agent
technology this time to screen for covid via the use of surrogates. Other
medically oriented mining and search applications are briefly mentioned.
